REPORT OF THE JURY OF AWARD

THE SECOND ANNUAL WHITE PINE ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION
FOR A HOUSE TO COST TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS

Judged at the Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, IVest Virginia, May 17 and 18, igij

THE PROBLEM: The design of a residence, to be built of wood (all the outside finish, consisting of siding and cor-
ner boards; window sash, frames and casings; outside doors, door frames and casings; outside blinds; all exposed porch
and balcony lumber; cornice boards, brackets, ornaments and mouldings, etc., not including shingles, to be of White Pine),
for all-year-round occupancy by an American family with an annual income of $5CXX). The competitor shall assume that
the family is of average size and is one of taste and refinement, and shall provide appropriate accommodations, including
out-of-doors sleeping quarters.

The architectural style is optional, and the plan arrangement left to the ingenuity of the designer.

The house is to be located on a rectangular lot at the northeast corner of two streets. The lot measures 125' o" on the
Main street, which runs east and west, and 200' o" on the Secondary street, which leads to the railroad station. It is as-
sumed that there is a restriction which provides that the house shall not be erected nearer than thirty feet from the Main
and twenty feet from the Secondary highway property line, and that no building may be placed within ten feet of the east
or five feet from the north lot line. The outlook is equally desirable in all directions, and the neighboring houses of the
usual heterogeneous character of design obtaining in towns, small cities or suburbs of large cities.

The total cubage 0/ the house and porches must not exceed f^.ooo cubic feet.

The house must be one that can be built for $12,500, and the design must therefore be of such character that there
may be no doubt about its cost.

AT the meeting of the Jury, before examin-
ing any of the drawings, the Jurors gave
L careful consideration to the fact that the
program did not definitely state the number and
sizes of the rooms required; and determined
unanimously the permissible latitude in number
and sizes of rooms to accommodate the family
as described. The Jurors agreed that, on the
first floor, two rooms of fairly large size besides
the dining room, were necessary to constitute a
complete and livable house; that variations in
habits of living would make permissible con-
siderable differences in the character of these
rooms; they also agreed that an adequate ser-
vice portion was a necessity. On the second
floor a minimum of three bedrooms and two
baths, one of the bedrooms to be large enough
for the comfortable permanent accommodation
of two persons, was thought requisite, together
with a sleeping porch for at least two persons,
besides either one or two maids' rooms and bath,
depending upon the size and character of the
house. They decided also that a cellar under

the main part of the house was essential to good
construction.

This interpretation of the program was faith-
fully observed in the consideration of the
drawings.

Unfortunately, a number of the competitors
did not seem to consider that the requirements
of the program as to the use of color and diluted
ink meant anything, and eleven drawings were
removed from consideration for one or the other
of these reasons. Some of the competitors man-
aged to figure the cubage of their buildings
within the requirements, by excavating the cel-
lar for a small part only; but where the result of
such tabulation of contents produced a. house
which manifestly could not have been built for
5^12,500 in any portion of the country or at any
recent time, these plans were omitted from con-
sideration. Also, where competitors, by decep-
tive figuring of the cubic contents, made their
drawings appear to conform to the terms of
the program, where in reality they did not, the
designs were not considered. The total number

THE WHITE PINE MONOGRAPH SERIES

of drawings eliminated for these reasons was
seventeen and the Jury regrets exceedingly the
implication of these competitors that it would
not faithfully discharge its obligation in this
important respect.

In making the judgment, the Jury, in accord-
ance with the terms of the program, considered
first the architectural merit of the various
designs, and found to their regret that by so
doing most of the houses which were located on
the plot in the position which the Jury deemed
to be the best were not of sufficient architec-
tural excellence to be considered. The Jury was
unanimous in believing that the house should
be located toward the rear of the plot, with the
service wing and a possible garage at the interior
corner; the main rooms and the gardening or
other development of the grounds toward the
Main Street to the South, with the entrance
road to the house and garage at the North. This
would have given convenient access for automo-
bile traffic to the station, and would also have
given proper light, air and outlook to the prin-
cipal rooms. The plans finally selected by the
Jury for the first and second places were those
which were placed toward the front of the lot,
with the gardens at the rear, but were so ar-
ranged that certain of the rooms had both good
light and air to the South and in part a good
outlook to the North over the garden.

The Jury, after two sessions, were finally able
to reduce the number of plans under consider-
ation to twelve, and from these selected four
which seemed, in respect to all the qualities
mentioned under the heading "Judgment" in
the program, to be of all-round superiority.
The Jury found themselves unable to discrim-
inate between the eight remaining designs and
therefore decided to award all eight Mentions,
instead of six, as specified in the program.

FIRST PRIZE, Design No. 204: In regard
to the first requirement of the judgment (the
architectural merit of the design) the Jury con-
sidered that this competitor shows the combi-
nation of imagination and good taste essential
to successful country house design in a greater
degree than any other competitor. The placing
of the house on the property is excellent, though
not ideal; the treatment of the grounds, both
as shown in perspective and as on the plot plan,
is admirable. The details both of interior and
exterior show intelligence and knowledge, and
are of a type suitable to the limitation of cost.
The plan of the first floor as regards the prin-
cipal rooms and the placing of the porches is
excellent. The space allotted the service portion
is much too small and the arrangement is not
good, but weighing these matters against similar
features in other plans, this point was not

thought sufficient to vitiate the other good qual-
ities of the plan. The second floor is one of the
best submitted. The rooms are of good size, thor-
oughly ventilated and the arrangement en Suite
of pairs of rooms on each end, with connections
to bath rooms and to the sleeping porches, is
most satisfactory. The waste of space in cir-
culation is small and the treatment of the
second floor corridor is such as to shorten its
apparent length, as far as possible.

While the Jury thought there were a number
of perspectives of at least equal merit from the
point of view of rendering, they felt that this
factor should not weigh in making a judgment
and because this competitor shows a perception
of charm and imagination to an unusual degree,
the Jury was unanimous in awarding this design
first place on all counts.

SECOND PRIZE, Design No. 224: This de-
sign was awarded the second prize for substan-
tially the same reasons that the first prize was
awarded to Design No. 204.

The placing of the house on the property is
good and the architecture of the building is
excellent. The Jury admired the treatment of
the one-story wings extremely, although they
regretted a certain heaviness in the dining porch
detail, and felt also that the sleeping porch is
too narrow. The position of the first-story
toilet is undeniably bad, because of its conspic-
uousness and because it opens on the dining
porch. The plan of the entrance hall is unusual
and susceptible of extremely interesting treat-
ment, possibly with arches over the entrance
to the stairs and the entrance to the dining
porch. The connection from the pantry to the
front door and also to the dining porch is
extremely good, the kitchen arrangement is
good and the closets on this floor are sufficient.
On the second floor the Committee felt that the
proportion of space devoted to each of the
principal rooms is correct, and that the arrange-
ment of the bath rooms is satisfactory. The rear
and side elevations are good, as are the details
of the main entrance and the wing.

Of all the designs submitted there is perhaps
none which so fully complies with the spirit of
the competition as regards material and cost.

THIRD PRIZE, Design No. 49: The
principal consideration which influenced the
Committee in making the award of third
place to No. 49 is the originality shown in
the informal handling both of the plot and of
the building itself. The house is extremely
well placed on the property; the garden
scheme is imaginative and interesting and the
grouping of the garage with the house is a
pleasant feature. By further development of

A HOUSE TO COST TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS

the scheme the garage could be entered under
cover afforded by an arcade. The position of
the house conforms fairly well to the Commit-
tee's opinion as to the ideal location. The ex-
terior shows an admirable adaptation of English
precedent to our materials. The Jury thought
that the two weak spots in the exterior were
the introduction of a rather unnecessary gable
over the amusing double arched entrance to
the garden, and the treatment of the sleeping
porch, which would cut the East gable badly;
but the simple, domestic, almost playful charac-
ter of the design was sincerely admired. The
plan is of a quite different type from most of
those presented, and the proportionate spaces
allotted to the dining room, the living room
and study are good, as are the locations of
these rooms with consideration to air, outlook
and surroundings. The kitchen is small, but
the other service portions are of sufficient size
to care properly for the domestic activities.
The second floor arrangement shows rooms of
irregular shapes, but with a proper proportion
of space to the probable requirements of the
family for whom the house is designed.

FOURTH PRIZE, Design No. 86: The design
placed fourth, in rendering is disappointing,
but a careful study of the elevations and of the
details convinced the Jury that the house would
build better than is indicated by the perspective.
The sleeping porch, always a difficult problem,
is well managed. The arrangement of the
servants' quarters on both the first and second
floors is admirable, although the disposition of
space on the first floor is not so happy as in
many other cases, and the Jury felt that it was
unnecessary to reduce the size of the den to
permit a service passage from the pantry to
the front entrance. The layout of the property
is satisfactory and in general the scheme shows
a careful consideration of all points and a just
balance of the several factors.

MENTION DESIGNS

The Jury felt that the Mention designs were
so nearly equal in merit that it would be un-
desirable to attempt to place them in order,
and felt likewise that all show qualities of one
kind or another of great interest, and that a
failure to appreciate the relative importance of
all factors was the sole reason for any one of
them not having been ranked higher.

Design No. ii^: The competitor submitting
this drawing shows a knowledge of his architec-
ture and a power in classic Colonial which is un-
equaled by any other contestant, and the Jury
greatly regretted the fact that neither the first
nor the second floor plan is up to the standard

exhibited in so many of the other designs. This
competitor has placed his house in the front of
the lot with a garden at the rear, affordingan out-
lookoverthegardenfromonlyoneof theprincipal
rooms (the library, which is the smallest of the
three), and on the second floor from the dressing
rooms and bath rooms only. The plot plan in it-
self is one of the best submitted, and had it been
completely revised so that the principal rooms
could have faced both to the South and the
garden, the design would unquestionably have
been considered for one of the prizes. The
division of the space in the second story into
four small bedrooms of equal size is manifestly
incorrect, and the balancing of a living room
and dining room of equal size in the first story
does not seem to the Jury proper or appropriate.
The Jury has gone thus far into the reasons for
its refusal to give this drawing higher standing,
because of its very great liking for the architec-
ture of the building as a whole, and because of
its regret that this should have been nullified
by the facts as above stated.

Design No. 19^: The architecture of this de-
sign especially impressed the Jury. They found
practically nothing to criticise in the exterior
excepting that the design shows a quality of
stone rather than of wood. The plot plan is
fair, but the forcing of the plan to meet the
requirements of exterior is objectionable. The
separation of the breakfast porch by the thin-
nest possible screen from a service porch open-
ing on so formal a garden is not admired, nor is
the division of space in the first story into a
living room and a dining room of equal sizes
considered good. The service part is well
managed in the first story, but the Committee
felt that the house demands a possible second
servant's room, and did not feel that the main
bedrooms are as good as is necessary for a house
of this size.

The presentation of these drawings was most
masterly, especially in the rendering of the
elevations and perspective.

Design No. 44: In this house again the Jury
found the elevation to be superior to other
points. The quaintness and charm of the ex-
terior were very cordially admired, although
the North elevation shows a multiplicity of
motives which is disturbing, and the head room
in the bedroom No. 4, bath room and maid's
room is entirely insufficient. The disposition
of the house on the lot is only fairly satisfac-
tory. The property has been deliberately cut
in two, and while the treatment of the exterior
is such as to permit of an amusing handling of
the garden close to the building, the property
as a whole has not been used to the fullest ad-

THE WHITE PINE MONOGRAPH SERIES

vantage. The details throughout are admirable
and would indicate that the house could be
developed fully as well in reality as it appears
in the perspective.

Design No. 226: The architecture of this
house is of a character quite different from that
of most of the drawings submitted and the effort
made by the author to get away from the formal
and stereotyped motives was appreciated and
commended. The details of the building as
well as its elevations were admired, with the
exception of the treatment of the sleeping porch
and the open porch below, which are, in the
opinion of the Committee, quite too light and
frail to be properly coordinated with the archi-
tecture of the balance of the building. The
North elevation with the inadequate door and
dissymmetrical treatment does not show the
proper balance necessary to good design. The
plot plan is good, but the location of the entrance
door and path is not satisfactory, especially
since the service yard is in full sight of a person
entering the property.

Design No. 241: This design has an exterior
architecture as pleasing as any in the competi-
tion, but the disposition of the house on the
lot, while unusual, was considered by the Jury as
not properly utilizing so limited a space, since
the garden would necessarily be crowded and
difficulties would arise in adjusting natural
grades to the conditions indicated. The author
has endeavored to include too many units in the
plan, with consequent loss of space and loss of
value in each. This applies equally to both
floors. The single servant's room without a
bath room is manifestly inadequate for a house
of this type, nor is it possible to reach the attic
in the manner indicated.

The things which especially pleased the Com-
mittee in this plan are the delightful archi-
tecture and the capable manner in which the
most was made of details of a simple and
admirable type.

Design No. igg: The architecture, both as in-
dicated by the perspective of the garden side
and by the elevations as shown on the detail
sheet, is unusual, interesting and admirable.
The treatment of the property is good, assum-
ing that no vehicular entrance is necessary,
which seemed to the Jury a fair assumption. The
details, both as to exterior and interior, are ex-
cellent, and, except for what the Jury considered
a very important feature, the outdoor sleeping
accommodations, the plan is in many respects
the best submitted. The Jury does not consider
an upper deck proper outdoor sleeping accom-
modations, but otherwise the competitor has

fully recognized in plan the requirements for
what was stated to be in the program "The av-
erage American family of taste and refinement."
The service portion is especially good, and
one of the two maid's rooms is sufficiently
large to accommodate two persons, a desirable
feature not commonly found in the plans. The
second floor has an excellent principal bedroom,
two fair-sized bedrooms for children, and a
good guest bedroom. The enlargement of the
hall in front of the staircase in the second story
relieves the house from any cramped appearance,
and the locations of the bath rooms are good.
The Jury liked the exterior, but especially com-
mended the plan.

Design No. ig4: The perspective shows a
house of agreeable proportions and admirable
shape, and had the competitor treated the rear
of his building with the same restraint shown in
the front he would have achieved a far more suc-
cessful result. The porch at the rear of the living
roorn and the garden porch should not, in the
opinion of the Jury, have been added at all;
they are obviously included to secure more space
in the second story, which should have been
done by better planning. The treatment of the
sleeping porches is the best, both as to archi-
tecture and plan, which appears in the compe-
tition, and the Jury felt that the treatment of
the sleeping porches indicated on these drawings
is the correct solution of what has hitherto been
a very difficult problem. Such porches are
coming to be practically rooms with a large
proportion of openings and a waterproof floor,
and this competitor was one of the few who
appreciated the fact.

The arrangement of the plot plan with the
garage at the rear of the garden, and the sug-
gestion of garden treatment, is admirable,
while the use of the garage as a terminal feature
is excellent. The plan of the drive is bad — it
unnecessarily cuts up the property on all sides,
and would make dust and noise in the dining
room, breakfast room and living room.

Design No. igj: The plot plan of this house
shows a very interesting utilization of the grade
conditions, which permit the competitor to de-
press his entrance drive so that the house may
be entered from vehicles under cover in the rear
without interfering with the vista across the
lawn. Possibly a reception room in the base-
ment might have improved this feature. The
main floor plan is good, the service portion
well developed, and the principal rooms of
agreeable character. In spite of the irregular
form of the first floor plan it is not the opinion
of the Jury that the effect would be disagreeable.
The exterior is in general good, with the excep-

A HOUSE TO COST TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS

tion of the treatment of the large window on the
staircase with a key block of disproportionate
scale. The side and front elevations are good,
especially with reference to the sleeping porches,
and the detail of the exterior is well managed.
The detail of the dining room is not considered
to be in harmony with the character of the
building and is exceedingly disappointing to
the Committee.

The Jury extends to the contestants in the
White Pine Architectural Competition its sin-
cere congratulations upon the high architectural
standard attained by the majority of the de-
signs. Many of the schemes not awarded either
Prize or Mention are sufficiently interesting

to warrant study. It is, therefore, gratifying
to learn that a selection of these is to be pub-
lished in The Architectural Review in a lati
fall number.

As a whole the Competition brought forth a
collection of drawings which will make an
interesting contribution to the general sub^
ject of planning and designing small wood
houses.

"PRESIDENT'S HOUSE" AT WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST VIRGINIA.

This house was used by President Madison during his visits to White Sulphur Springs. Practically all the
old Southern watering-places were built in this manner, the occasional two-story building connected by long
one-story ranges, with a piazza so constructed that one could be always under cover. It was, perhaps, from
these groups that Jefferson derived his scheme for the University of Virginia. The ranges were never more
than one room deep, so that through ventilation was insured, and most of the rooms were not connected,
family accommodations being provided by two-story buildings, or by small detached one-story buildings containing
three or four small rooms side by side. The dining-room and recreation rooms were in the central building.
The architectural interest of what is known to most people as purely a pleasure resort led to the selection of
White Sulphur Springs for the Judgment, and not the least pleasing function of the Jury was the examination
of this old work, dating as it does from 1760 to 1820, and including many varieties of early wooden architecture.

THE WHITE PINE SPECIFICATION BOOK

CONTAINING

CLASSIFIED RECOMMENDED USES FOR WHITE PINE IN HOUSE
CONSTRUCTION AND WHITE PINE STANDARD GRADING RULES

SINCE the painstaking architect is under
continual pressure for time in which to
perform his various daily duties, it may
not be amiss to remind him that the use of the
White Pine Specification Book, recently
sent to his office, is most simple, and the infor-
mation disseminated most valuable. There are
only three rapid references to be made to insure
concise and comprehensive use of the book.
First — the General Explanatory Preface should
be read, then Instructions for the Use of this
Book, which in turn refer to Classified Recom-
mended Uses for IVhite Pine in House Construc-
tion. In these three briefly covered subjects is
embodied all that is necessary to make this
manual a practical reference book on White Pine
— all other subject matter being supplemental
thereto; and through the foregoing simple pro-
cedure the busy architect can obtain the facts
necessary to specify definitely the grade of
White Pine lumber suitable for any given use.
If, however, there be a desire to study care-
fully the White Pine Grading Rules, the book
contains complete information on the entire
subject.

In the compilation of the White Pine
Specification Book, it was realized that any-
thing less than full and complete information
covering a subject so involved as lumber
grades would be inadequate, superficial, and
perhaps even misleading. For this reason this
Specification Book purposely has been made
a most fully detailed resume of the subject, de-
signed to supply the architect with complete and
dependable data which can be absolutely relied
upon, not forgetting a most carefully prepared
cross-index to insure quickest possible reference.

With the care exercised in its preparation, it
is our hope and belief that the book will be
really prized in the drafting room for its effi-
ciency and in the specifications department for
the accuracy of its information.

As the book has been " Compiled for Archi-
tects' Use in Specifying White Pine Lumber,"
if there be any architect's office which has not
received it, may we be notified, that our over-
sight may be corrected?
